They point back to the five years weiss has already spent looking into Hunter Bidens alleged tax and gun crimes. We sent a letter.

Christiane, Siamak Namazi took a huge risk talking to you, but it does seem his message has been heard. Reporter well, lets hope so because he was desperate. And youre absolutely right.
